Oh christ, this kind of crap makes my blood boil. I will start of by saying I know this is a fictional story, but it does, I am sure mirror some actors real experiences. Now that said this kind of behaviour makes me so angry. I was actually getting angry as I was reading this chapter. Why do fans think it is ok to tear apart the object of their attentions private life. It is great to love the actor, love his work and perhaps follow what they are doing respectfully not obtrusively. What is not ok is to pick apart someone's personal life. Does it make them feel better about themselves to have him single, miserable and possibly available. What bearing does that have on a person's work, does it make going to see their movie less appealing because that person is in a relationship, are there really deluded fans out there who think Rob is actually available to them because he is single or that he is not worthy of their attention or his movies no longer worth watching because he may or may not be dating Kristen. Surely we watch the twilight movies/read the books because we love the story and not whether the actors are dating in real life or not!! Get a life people. Maybe he is seeing Kristen maybe he isn't, who cares that's their business, maybe he has a real life Jen stached somewhere, maybe he has a parade of different women every week. What does it matter if he is happy, it does not affect the quality of his work, which surely is the important fact. Does every fan out there really think that they have the right to ok his girlfriend before he is allowed to have one or that he is not allowed to have one at all to fill some deluded fantasy they may have. We can all day dream/fantasise about him but you have to realise that that is all it is. I believe that these fans are the ones who would pick up and move on when someone else new grabs their attention, they are not true fans. Then there is the management, I believe they feed this frenzy for their actors/actresses to be single. If they did not make such a big deal out of hiding these things and saying that it will harm careers, then I do not believe it would have such a strong reaction from the public. Ok I will relent partially and say that looking like a manwhore for some actors could be detrimental, but on the other hand look at Colin Farrell has it ever harmed him, I hazard a guess and say it probably helped his public persona and he must have been portrayed with many a woman, what happened to his handlers - I bet he told them to get up and f Off.

Well once again the quality of your writing has elicited from me a rather strong opinion and I hope it makes some people think before they write nonsense in the fanworld. Sometimes what you see in a picture is misinterpreted, but you never know what you are seeing could be real and you could be doing real damage to someones relationship and self esteem by criticising.

Right ok get a hold of yourself Sharon. Sorry Steph rant over now. This venting in no way is critical of your story, which you know I LOVE. You are only portraying what really happens, its just sad that it happens at all.

So onto a happier note will we see them sticking it to Summit and that horrible british agent (god she sounded even worse than Nick and that is saying something telling him 'Good Boy' WTF and putting a fake statement out there from Jen saying she is married, I would so want to deck that woman if I was Jen) soon by walking the Red Carpet together. I believe the next one is Eclipse too. Now that would certainly put the cat among the pigeons and give RobJen the outing they are looking for. Let the fun commence.

Once again sorry Steph, you know I can get on my soapbox every now and again.

heehee. Well you know me and my soapboxes! LOL!

One thing I hope people take away from this story besides the lovefest of RobJen, is what one must go through in the film profession. Every day. Every time we get an alert to new pics of Rob, what are they? Are they legit photoshoots? or secret behind the scenes shots of him on set. My feelings towards pics has changed drastically since starting this story. And then to add to that people's opinions of how someone should be or act. They are everyday people. they deserve to live some semblance of that. no matter what.

I'll make my soapbox rant short... i have chapters to write after all! but i wanted to say thank you. Yep, they have a lot to do yet, we'll see how they deal with the opposing forces set against them.

Wow the photo went viral quickly didn't? Reading all the comments was fun because you can definitely see where that could happen. Then the messaging back and forth between Bella and Leah were very humorous. Yes, I think it would be weird talking to someone who you KNOW is fantizing about doing it with your man!!! LOL!!

Loved this line in the chapter:

"What are you doing down here? I swear, Jen; I do wonder if sleeping with me is abhorrent with the way you slip away all the time. Do I snore?" he asked,

Boy Rob's UK agent is a pistol, isn't she? Can't wait to find out more on her. And, really, Nick's plant started all that crap about the photos? Good grief. Not realy a smooth move on Nick's part was it?

You know, I am thinking a little bit from Mack's POV would be very interesting to read!! It could be an ou take or you could just add it in the story! LOL!

Oh I hope that Mack is writing his memories about his time with Edward. I bet that would be a fun thing to read.

OMGosh when Edward was all stumbling around, toward the end, I was wondering if that would be the time Edward proposed. You did a good build up there on that girlfriend. Nice writing!

Lovedd this line too:

"Jennifer Lynn Brown. When I ask you to marry me, it won't be in the kitchen with your potatoes boiling over!

Well I cannot wait to read about that too!!! And to find out if they are going to go down the red carpet..........thought ought to be interesting to say the very least!

Thanks Keye!

Wow so much happening right?!

Photos go viral so fast with him. it's insane. and anything that is remotely big news for him. Just explodes. I loved writing the blurbs from the websites. so much banter goes on on those sites, it's ridiculous we get anything done by reading or writing them! LOL!

Rob's agents are certainly a bit of a hindrance, so true. I hope that Rob has more control over his personal life in real life... but to be treated as a commodity, i am sure that happens to some extent. It's all about the sell in the end. sad.

Oh Mack... how i love him. He'd have a lot to say, wouldn't he? LOL!

ah the proposal. one day. not just yet. potatoes and all.he'll pick a good time for it!

Oh, Lord. I totally thought he was going to ask her to marry him. I let out a huge breath when he simply asked her to walk the carpet with him. (Well, okay - admittedly, after I tried to decipher if 'walk the carpet' was a Britishism for getting married. I'm a dork.)

I'm so mad at his UK representation... grrr. It's back to th whole private life thing... *sigh* Poor man doesn't hardly get a say in what he does...

Your A/N were really good too - about interpreting the pictures... we can be a catty group, can't we? It really did (oh, look! A life lesson) make me sit back and think about how many times that I've made a snap judgement like that... and now I won't.

I cannot wait for the premier. I am salivating for it, and I sincerely hope that Jen knocks the HELL out of someone. :D

Or... y'know, that she acts like the lady she is... whatever. ;)

PS - Love Mack. So much.

xoxoxo

LMAO! your last comments on Jen had me rolling on the floor! which side of Jen will we see? Ass kicker or gentle lady...hmmmm. heeeheeehee

aw,you know i am all about life lessons with a dash of Rob! lol! ok maybe a cuppa Rob!

snort at the Britishism on getting married. hey, you never know! LOL!heehee

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! *squeal* Finally those two are out! I've being waiting for that a long time ago. What was in the picture? Who leak it? The read head? Or some one from the crew? Thinking about it, that would be bad. Still they don't have her name, so she's not under fire, yet! Summit is going to so piss off, jajaja. I like the bit about the sex coach, just hope thats NOT necessary in RL. The adventure has begun let see how the sisters take that bit of news, at lease his family and friends love her. Would this means overtime for Mike and Joe -which btw I have miss-? Oh questions: Did the London premier of Remember Me had passed? They're still having dinner with Mike family?

Roadtrip2010; Well I know this don't go in here but whatever! I love what you had done with that story, the inclusion of Bobby was so good. It had to be good have all those Brit Boys around, although Bobby is being an ass, Rob an idiot and Sam a bit emo. Still like that Rob convens her to send her story. I love how much Tom was able to get a pre-read on the chapters before hands and obviously the character angry talk, that was cool. Her boss is being a idiot, I hope that the story Paramount like but the guys are being so sweet with her!!!

Yeah, Im here again... I simply couldn't resist re-reading my favorite Rob-fic :) Sooo... here I go again... and maybe by the time I get to the last updated chapters more will be updated :) LOVE this story...

I so want to see the pic!!! for a moment there I almost forgot it was fiction and no pic exist - darn it!

and I almost choked on my water when I read sex coach - then I thought - where do I sign up! lol Oh these silly rumors... I so love to hate them and laugh over them... oh yeah, the "Hen House" ladies??? I would have smacked her upside the head if I was there as a 3rd party watching this unfould.. I mean seriously? who cares that it wasn't Kristen? it just irked me a bit, can you tell? lol

anyway, cliffy - no cool! but I know you'll make it up to us... can't wait to find out about the pic!!! so freaking excited for them!!!

the movie will kill me and your take on it has already rendered me deaded... add in seeing it London (crosses fingers, toes, and everything else) - I don't think I'll make it back to the states in one piece! and yes, I may have read this chapter a few times 'cause who wouldn't want to read about rob going all duRoy with sound affects.. I just pray for some awesome dreams tonight :)

but I feel for jen - logically I can see how she thought it wouldn't be a big deal - the orgy and all.. he is an actor and he's acting a part.. no biggie right? *shoot me now* but what happens when the said actor makes it look real - real as in what you share in private including the sounds and looks... I'm sure jen would have liked to "cut a bitch - js" :)

thank goodness for rob filterless word spill - you know he's going to out them one day.. or at least it wouldn't surprise me if he does.. lol

loved the chapter way to much.. like i loved the chapter.. *sick perv*

Glad you're back looking forward to the coming chapters, even though you were missed while you were busy it gave me a chance to go back and re read the whole story from the start.

Absolutley loved this chapter, can't wait to see what the photo is, hope its a really juicy one that really shows they are in love, it's really time for them to come out.

By the way love Mack, would really love to hear his point of view about the whole situation, i'm sure that could be really funny.

As i've said before i really love your style i love a good story where you really feel involved in the lives of the characters, and your writing really does it for me, ( not to mention it would be hard to stop oneself from not getting involved with the main character if one was lucky enough to have the chance) so as long as you keep writing, i'll keep reading.

Now I am really looking forward to the next update and can't wait to see what picture has caused such a shitstorm.

I am only afraid that now that they are out, NTE will be coming to an end soon. Please say it isn't so...

oh yes i did! hahahaha! you know i am cruel..

the next chapter is written, trying to get an OTT update out first, we'll see if I can stand holding out!

sigh... I will tell you the truth. As i was writing 72, I had a moment, where i felt the end approaching. Not so much for the scope of the story, but my fear that I don't want this to be one of THOSE stories that refuses to end... I mean... 72 chapters?!

But you will be happy to know, it was just a moment, there are a number of chapters to come. I have plans for Water for Elephants after all!

I'll keep writing, until the muse runs silent. He hasn't let me down so far.
